Er... um... is such a large voltage drop typical? We don't see that
happening on Brand X amps using good power supplies. I understand the
voltage drop when going from, say, 10 to 100 watts should be minimal,
like no more than .2 volts. I have also seen this sort of power output
weakness in some transceivers which are rather picky about voltage sag
when running full tilt.
I would check the power supply and try one that does not sag more than
.1 or .2 volts on full power. I suspect the amp is good, the power
supply not.
Just My take.

The voltage drop at this power is about 1.2 V according
to KX3 meter.
The voltage meter of KX3 shows then 11.1 V at that power.
IMHO KXPA100 is pretty sensitive to voltage of the power supply.
